My first recommendation for someone who loves makeup would always be an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette. Although more expensive than high street/drugstore eyeshadows, the quality is outstanding. My top pick would be the Naked 3 palette purely because it contains some of the most stunning and unique rose gold shades I’ve seen, plus rose gold is so ‘in’ right now! Other options include the original Naked palette, the Naked 2 palette and the Naked smoky palette, all of which contain 12 eyeshadows that are mostly shimmer finishes with one or two mattes. For those who prefer a completely matte palette, you can’t go wrong with the Naked ultimate basics palette.

Moving onto the face, how about a little kit that has everything included to create a flawless base? Benefit’s ‘How to look the best at everything’ complexion kit contains a primer, foundation, two concealers and a finishing powder all in miniature size to get a feel for the products before purchasing the full size. It’s available in three shades: light, medium and deep.

Another highly recommended set now – the Tarte deluxe clay blush collection and brush set. Tarte’s blushes are fantastic… great colours, super pigmentation, smooth application and long lasting. This set is great as it also comes with a brush to apply them with.

Makeup application is so much easier and tends to look better when you have a decent set of brushes Zoeva’s rose gold brush set contains seven essential brushes for face and eye makeup, all contained in a pretty rose gold pouch.
